Integrated platform to power 24/7 hands-free charging for autonomous mobility

Rocsys launches world’s first integrated platform to power 24/7 hands-free charging for autonomous mobility

• Rocsys platform ensures autonomous vehicles are charged and ready when operators need them
• The integrated Rocsys platform consists of the Rocsys Steward automatic connection device, Rocsys Portal and Rocsys API to support operational integration and Rocsys Proactive Care working seamlessly together to ensure continuous service
• Rocsys will provide a first impression of the Rocsys Steward S2 at ACT Expo - the upcoming automatic connection device in its product line
  
  

Rocsys, the global leader in hands-free charging, today announced the launch of the Rocsys Platform at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo (ACT EXPO) in California.

Rocsys works with customers in the robotaxi, logistics, and ports sectors, including operators like APM Terminals MVII, the number 2 port terminal operator in the world, leading autonomous vehicle solution providers like EasyMile and embotech and vehicle OEMs like Hyster, DAF, and Autocar.

The Rocsys platform will provide a comprehensive, integrated solution that combines cutting-edge hardware, intelligent software, and proactive support to simplify and scale hands-free charging for autonomous mobility. Designed to meet the demands of 24/7 autonomous operations, the Rocsys Platform ensures vehicles are always charged, connected, and ready when operators need them.

The future of transport is electric and autonomous 

With the port automation market projected to exceed $15.5 billion by 2032 and robotaxi use growing with companies like Waymo operating over 200,000 rides a week, operators need automated solutions to keep pace. Yet manual charging is a hidden bottleneck.

As vehicles move toward full autonomy, infrastructure must evolve with them. Current charging systems are built on the outdated assumption that a human operator should always be present. Manual charging is time-consuming, labour-intensive, error-prone, and incompatible with the scalability that autonomous fleets demand. A manual charging process negates the benefits of otherwise autonomous systems by introducing a human bottleneck.

The Rocsys Platform addresses this critical gap by enabling truly autonomous operations. It offers seamless integration with existing vehicle and infrastructure setups without the need for a wholesale retrofit and delivers unmatched compatibility across all vehicle types and charging brands.

The Rocsys Platform includes four key components:

• Rocsys Steward – An advanced automatic connection device powered by computer vision and machine learning. It autonomously detects vehicle arrival, opens the charging port, plugs in safely, charges, and unplugs — all without human intervention. It’s compatible with all standard connectors and existing multi-brand infrastructure.
  
  
• Rocsys Portal – A powerful operational dashboard providing real-time data-driven insights into charging activities, enabling operators to optimize performance and unlock efficiencies in autonomous workflows.
• Rocsys API – Enables integration with IT systems such as Terminal Operating Systems (TOS) and Fleet Management Systems (FMS), providing operators with total control and visibility over charging in the context of wider logistics or mobility operations.
  
  
• Rocsys Proactive Care – A 24/7 expert support service offering remote performance monitoring, computer vision performance updates, remote troubleshooting, and proactive maintenance to ensure uninterrupted operations, especially in challenging environments like ports and logistics hubs.

 
Crijn Bouman, co-founder and CEO of Rocsys, said, “The infrastructure that supports existing passenger and logistics vehicles was built for humans, but as we enter a new age of autonomous transport, we need to provide a platform on which these systems can scale. Our Rocsys platform will be the foundation that will power these autonomous vehicles. By combining our market-leading technology with a deep understanding of how these operations work, we serve the needs of both people and businesses while guaranteeing that vehicles are ready and charged when businesses need them.” 

Rocsys will be presenting the Rocsys Platform and future innovations to the Rocsys Steward at ACT Expo from 28 - 30 April at Booth #6514.
